The Charles Daly 202T delivers reliable break-action performance with modern tactical features in a 20-gauge platform. This over/under shotgun combines traditional hunting functionality with contemporary enhancements like integrated Picatinny rail mounting and durable synthetic construction.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic over/under shotguns, the 202T incorporates a steel receiver with integrated Picatinny rail system for optics mounting. The 3.5-inch chamber capability handles everything from light target loads to heavy waterfowl rounds. TrueTimber Strata camouflage provides effective concealment across varied terrain while the synthetic stock resists weather damage that affects traditional wood furniture.
Key Features
- 20-gauge break-action with 3.5-inch chamber capacity for versatile load selection
- 22-inch ventilated rib barrels with choke tube compatibility
- Steel receiver with integrated Picatinny rail for optics mounting
- TrueTimber Strata camouflage pattern on stock and receiver components
- Fixed synthetic stock construction resists moisture and impact damage
- Break-open action allows quick barrel inspection and cleaning access
- Dual-barrel configuration provides instant follow-up shot capability
Field performance centers on the 20-gauge's reduced recoil compared to 12-gauge alternatives while maintaining effective downrange energy. The over/under barrel arrangement eliminates the cycling reliability concerns common with semi-automatic actions. Hunters benefit from the ability to load different chokes and loads in each barrel for varying shot opportunities. The Picatinny rail accepts standard optics mounts for red dot sights or low-power scopes.
